Crunch Time Chicken Takes Over 2,000 Stores Nationwide: 7-Eleven's Delicious Delight!

As a fried chicken-loving nation, a fried chicken meal is part of every Filipino’s weekly diet. With a country eager for a juicy, flavorful bite on the regular, it’s no wonder that a lot of players – from restaurants, fast-food places, and even convenience stores – have claimed leadership in the space from serving size to flavor.

Opening the doors of 7-Eleven’s  2000th Crunch Time store to the fried chicken fans of San Fernando, Pampanga is a big milestone. But making more people happier because a craving-saving chicken is conveniently within reach and can be served in no time is a bigger milestone.

Crispy, juicy, and packed with a winning taste, Crunch Time has become one of the everyday Pinoy’s go-to chicken meals, also thanks to the accessibility and convenience offered by 7-Eleven. On top of being just a short walk away from most fried chicken cravers, Crunch Time, over the years, has also been known for offering interesting spins to its recipe such as the Sriracha Chicken. It has also come up with novel formats to fulfill Pinoys’ cravings as seen in the Crunch Time Concept Store in Angeles, Pampanga, which has nuggets, corn dog, chicken fillet, and fried bread apart from its signature chicken meal.

“We're very proud of this amazing feat of being able to be closer to more Filipinos and satisfy their fried chicken cravings. 

Our Crunch Time brand has always been about delivering on flavor and convenience, things that have made it one of the top choices of busy office workers, students, and regular customers who want to have a bite of crispy, flavorful chicken at a friendly price,” says Armi Cagasan, Strategic Merchandise Division Head of 7-Eleven Philippines.

Becoming widely available means new things for customers to look forward to, as 7-Eleven continues to innovate its food choices in order to keep up with Pinoys’ dynamic tastes and demands. In a chicken hurry? 7-Eleven has chicken ready in over 2,000 stores nationwide and chicken fans can now have a crunchy feast at their newest branch. Those wishing to visit Crunch Time’s 2000th store can drop by at Capitol Boulevard, Mercury St., Brgy. San Pedro, San Fernando, Pampanga.

Transforming Lives Together: Watsons and Operation Smile Philippines Caring Beyond Beauty

Watsons, the leading health, wellness, and beauty retailer brand, continues to demonstrate its unwavering dedication to improving the health and wellness of communities throughout the Philippines. In a recent collaboration, Watsons joined forces with Operation Smile Philippines (OSP) to conduct a medical mission in Cauayan, Isabela -  marking their second initiative of the year.

 

The mission not only paved the way for giving back smiles to 60 beneficiaries, all children with cleft palate condition,  but also a more meaningful experience for the Watsons employees who volunteered and took part in this endeavor.

A total of 35 Watsons employees left their official tasks momentarily and joined the Isabela OSP mission.  Truly, it was one extraordinary experience that left a lasting impression on everyone.  

 

Pharmacy Manager Ellyrose Simplina of Watsons Isabela talks about her experience of being a part of the mission, "As a volunteer for OSP Mission, it is very rewarding. Especially when we see the smiles of the patients and the parents after a successful operation gives happiness to our hearts and gives us a sense of purpose. Indeed you can find happiness by helping others,” 

 

The mission also helped in making the team effort best work together and how they can be hands-on in taking care of the beneficiaries. The volunteers helped in different aspects such as doing the final screening of the patients, interviewing parents, filling up the patient records,,  and even post-operative hygiene care to assist the patients properly and make the process easier. 

 

“My experience as a volunteer of the OSP mission taught me empathy, compassion, and teamwork. Working with people whom you have never met before can be intimidating at times but it helped me strengthen my communication skills and to see the smile of each patient makes it valuable and rewarding,”  Pharmacist Sabrina Faye Reyes shares of her Isabela mission experience.

 

“We are delighted to witness the profound impact of our partnership with Operation Smile Philippines. Through this collaboration, we are not only transforming lives but also reaffirming our commitment to employee volunteerism and making a positive difference in the communities we serve.", said Sharon Decapia, Marketing AVP of Watsons Philippines. 

 

Watsons takes great pride in sharing this humbling and inspiring experience with its entire team. This partnership in the Philippines exemplifies A.S. Watson's global commitment to bringing 10,000 perfect smiles in collaboration with Operation Smile. With two successful medical missions completed this year, Watsons has plans to organize an additional medical mission in the coming months, with a mission in Tacloban already scheduled.

Red Bull Dance Your Style, the renowned brand’s take on a 1-on-1 unique street dance competition that pushes the boundaries of every dancer’s freestyle and improvisation skills, is set to return to the Philippines for its highly anticipated 2nd season.

The participation of the crowd creates an unparalleled level of atmosphere that empowers every dancer to channel their full potential and deliver a captivating performance.

Red Bull Dance Your Style: A Complete Dancer’s Stomping Ground

The journey of Red Bull Dance Your Style started with auditions to look for the best dancers in the country to compete in the upcoming Cebu and Manila qualifiers under the guidance of Philippine All-Stars’ legends and dance consultants, Vince Mendoza and Lema Diaz. The victorious dancers from both respective qualifiers will move on to the National Finals on September 2, 2023. 

 

The event is open to all performers who possess the drive, skill, and passion necessary for any good dancer. When asked how the tournament can be daunting to first-time contestants, Mendoza reassured that taking the first step towards new opportunities can change a performer’s life forever. “Don't be afraid to enter for the first time. It's the experience and giving your best that’s the greatest gift you can give yourself. I also get nervous, but if you overcome that fear it will change your life forever and that moment is yours forever,” he said.

 

The winner of the National Finals will advance to the World Finals and represent the Philippines against the top dancers from around the globe—the World Finals of Red Bull Dance Your Style in Germany in November of this year.

Fun Galaxy Watch Activities with Your Perfect Pair - The Galaxy Phone!"

                                                             

The Galaxy Watch has been an indispensable partner to the Galaxy smartphone since 2018 for achieving fitness goals and tracking other health and wellness activities. But did you know that it also works as a portable planner for tasks and makes a great extension to your phone?  

Five years since the launch of the first Galaxy Watch, it has evolved from a fitness tracker, to being a complement for the Galaxy smartphone in keeping tabs on different activities on your apps. Sporting a mini chatbox, planner, radio, and fitness tracker on your wrist has never been this helpful!

 

If you are deciding on getting your own Galaxy Watch, here are a list of ways it can make tasks so much easier or more fun when it’s synced to your Galaxy smartphone:

 

Track your health stats

Stay on top of your wellness goals as you check health data both on your Galaxy smartphone and Galaxy Watch. The Samsung Health app can be synced from your phone to the Galaxy Watch just by tapping “More Options” then “Settings”. Select the Samsung Watch accessory or “Scan for accessories” if not listed. This also allows you to also check on your heart rate and Electrocardiogram (ECG) levels from the app through your Galaxy Watch. At the end of a long busy day, sleep with your Galaxy Watch on and wake up to a sleep report of your body movements, heart rate, and oxygen levels. 

 

Keep tabs on emails and schedules

As you gear up for a busy day ahead, checking your schedule and emails via  your phone while on the way to work could be a hazard. But it's super easy to stay connected with your Galaxy Watch - you can sync your Gmail and Calendar app so your meetings and reminders are right on your wrist. You can even check your emails through the Galaxy watch, and recite your reply through the microphone and it will transcribe to text! 

 

Play music on-the-go 

Enjoy your favorite playlist during a workout, in transit, or as ambient sounds while finishing tasks at work from your Galaxy Watch through your connected Galaxy smartphone. Just ensure that the settings on your phone have the “Auto sync” on. To never miss the countless tunes on your Spotify playlist, simply download the app and your favorite tracks to your Galaxy Watch. Your tracks can be played even offline without having to bring out your phone with your your earbuds or the Watch’s speakers. 

 

Check and respond to messages, anytime

If you receive a message via messaging apps in the middle of a workout or while enjoying a meal with friends, you can check or even type a quick reply using your Galaxy Watch as long as the message notification is activated. When a new message is received, a slight vibration or sound alert will appear immediately on screen. If you miss the alert, you can go back to the message by swiping the watch face to the right and you can compose a quick reply by tapping an emoji or tying a message. 

 

Sync your devices fuss free

Enjoy all of these functions with your Samsung Watch when you connect it to your Samsung smartphone! Just enable your phone’s Bluetooth and the watch will connect to the phone. If you are connecting the watch to a new phone, simply reset your watch by pressing the “Home” and “Back” buttons and wait for reset to finish. Upon finishing the reset, go to “Settings” on the watch and select “General”. Then tap, “Connect to a new phone” and you’re good to maximize your Samsung Watch functions without having to pull out your phone.

Cebu Pacific and Airlink Join Forces for Disaster Resiliency and Response

Cebu Pacific, the Philippines’ leading airline, is joining the roster of international airlines and logistic partners that provide airlift, logistical solutions, and support to disaster nonprofit Airlink (www.airlinkflight.org) in its mission to help communities respond to and recover from disasters.

 

Airlink is a global nonprofit organization that delivers critical aid to communities in times of crisis. It leverages the power and speed of aviation, with the support of logistics partners, to get aid to distressed communities for more than 130 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) worldwide. Airlink makes that possible through partnerships with more than 50 airlines across the world, which now includes Cebu Pacific. Since its founding in 2009, Airlink has mobilized aid in more than 70 counties, moved more than three million kilos of supplies, and transported more than 10,000 responders.

Recently, Airlink, in conjunction with its partner, the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF), hosted a two-day workshop at the PDRF Emergency Operations Center at the Clark Freeport Zone in Pampanga, Philippines. Through the workshop, which focused on logistics preparedness for nonprofits responding to humanitarian crises in Asia and the Pacific, Airlink aims to equip the participants with the awareness of how to organize quickly and effectively any logistical response following an emergency. Another objective is fostering better relationships, resources, processes, and technical capacity to increase preparedness ahead of any emergency. 

“Disaster relief and humanitarian assistance are areas that Cebu Pacific has actively contributed to and supported over the years. We have always believed that air transport allows for an efficient and quick mobilization of necessary resources, both personnel and cargo, in responding to disasters or crises. Hence, Cebu Pacific is proud to be one of the key partners and sponsors of the APAC workshop organized by Airlink for capacity-building towards disaster resiliency and response in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Alex Reyes, Cebu Pacific’s Chief Strategy Officer.  

 

More than two dozen representatives from 19 Airlink NGO partners, including Anamatangi Polynesian Voices, Bayat Foundation, Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation, Children International, Disaster Relief Australia, Human Initiative, Mercy Relief, RSG Relief Singapore, RE:ACT Disaster Response, Save the Children, and ShelterBox attended the first post-pandemic workshop.

 

“This event gave us an opportunity to reconnect with our NGO partners face-to-face and provide a platform for them to network and draw lessons from each other’s experiences. Our partners cover disaster response in a very diverse area ranging from Afghanistan to Vanuatu in the Pacific, Sri Lanka to Ukraine, Turkiye to New Zealand. They shared the challenges they faced or overcame, giving valuable insights on how we can improve processes and responses to prioritise impacted communities,” said Jennifer Torner, Humanitarian Programs Manager for Asia and the Pacific for Airlink.  

“Airlink is working to improve regional responses by collaborating with local and regional actors to deliver aid more effectively. Forging new partnerships with PDRF and Cebu Pacific is a step in strengthening our Regional Response Framework. Regional training for our NGO partners also helps focus on collaboration with local and regional actors,” said Claire Leow, Airlink’s Regional Representative for Asia and the Pacific.

 

About Cebu Pacific’s Humanitarian Response

 

Staying true to its mission of providing humanitarian assistance through its BayaniJuan efforts, Cebu Pacific, with its long-standing partner Waves for Water, provided and transported water filter kits to various typhoon-struck locations in the Philippines in 2022.

 

Water filters mitigate the risk from water-borne illnesses and facilitate proper hygiene and access to clean water. Its importance is heightened more so during typhoons when access to clean water is compromised. During Typhoons Odette (2021) and Agaton (2022), CEB’s continued partnership with Waves for Water ensured clean water access for local communities.

 

The airline’s wide domestic network in the Philippines was the key to transporting help on the ground to the communities that needed it most. CEB transported water filters to seven typhoon Odette-stricken provinces, namely Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental, Palawan, Southern Leyte, and Surigao del Norte. Parts of Eastern and Western Visayas where typhoon Agaton made landfall also received water filters.

 

Cebu Pacific’s sustained efforts resulted in 1.81 tonnes (1,447 units) worth of water filters being delivered, free of charge, to the communities.

Cebu Pacific transported more than 21 million doses of life-saving COVID-19 vaccines from January to December 19, 2022 to 31 destinations, namely: Bacolod, Basilan, Boracay, Bohol, Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Cauayan, Cebu, Coron, Cotabato, Davao, Dipolog, Dumaguete, General Santos, Iloilo, Jolo, Kalibo, Legazpi, Masbate, Naga, Ozamiz, Pagadian, Puerto Princesa, Roxas, San Jose, Siargao, Tacloban, Tuguegarao, Tawi-Tawi, Virac, and Zamboanga.

 

Cebu Pacific has airlifted more than 80 million COVID-19 vaccine doses across the country since 2021.

 

During the pandemic, CEB also helped repatriate fellow countrymen and led donations for vulnerable children. In 2022, CEB assisted in the repatriation of 385 distressed Filipinos from Beirut and Kuwait via a charter flight arranged by the Department of Foreign Affairs. CEB coordinated with the Philippine embassies in Beirut and Kuwait to bring home 119 passengers from Beirut, and 266 passengers in Kuwait, on March 31.

 

In partnership with UNICEF Change for Good, CEB also raised more than PHP 10 million (US$178,000) in 2022, thanks to the generosity of its passengers and the support of its employees, to improve the situation of children in need. CEB has been a proud partner of UNICEF Change for Good since 2016, with the goal of raising funds through the collection of spare change from passengers. CEB is the first and only airline in the Philippines to partner with UNICEF for the Change for Good initiative.
